I ran out of usable glue so I haven't added the cup holder for the cooling bath, but asI have mentioned in several other threads, I cobbled up a quick and easy sharpening station to keep me from having to heft around the grinder, and have it at the ready when I am. The platform is just the plywood deck I used for mounting to my tool stacker, and I kept the hold downs for the Wolverine where they were.
The bar, and VariGrind jig had simple 1" diameter holes punched through the deck with my SpeedBor bits, those things dig scary fast!
The feet were goofs / cast offs from a valet project I am working on. Just simple 1x4 pine, rounded over on the top. Screwed and glued in an X configuration to the cast off 4x4 post. Levellers were installed and adjusted and this thing is rock steadyon the shop floor.
Once I get the glue to add the cup holder, I am planning on painting this thing Rustoleum hunter green gloss as my shop seems to be having a green color scheme with all the older model Central Machinery gear. Will post the final painted pics.
The immersion cup is intended to be a simple 32oz convenience store plastic cup. They are readily available as replacements, and deep enough I can get a good cooling drench to keep from overheating my work pieces...
I do need to get under the deck with a file through, one of the points for the screws anchoring down the Wolverine base plates is protruding and poked a bit of a bloody hole in my fingertip!
It was aside from waiting for the levellers, quick, super easy, and something I actually regret not doing earlier. I have been thinking about this for a long time. I just have been too lazy to do it... Oh and I warned you, I AM still working on shop cleanup. It is still very much a pig stye... My mother would NOT approve... The BBQ bits and pieces need to leave, and the pallet wood pieces need to get to the lumber rack, suck up the shavings blah blah blah...
